dekho chhoti si hai jindgani
ik khwab ka nam jawani
jab aye sone wale nind me khone wale
kahi ye jawani chhup jaye na pukar ke
kahi ye jawani chhup jaye na pukar ke
din hai bahar ke lelo maze pyar ke
duniya me dilwalo le lo maze pyar ke
din hai bahar ke

haske jamane me khushiyo ke jam pi lo
khushiyo ke jam pi lo
masti me dub ke ji lo dilwalo ji lo
o jine walo ji lo
kar lo murade puri sab kuchh har ke
kar lo murade puri sab kuchh har ke
din hai bahar ke lelo maze pyar ke
duniya me dilwalo le lo maze pyar ke
din hai bahar ke

kabhi duniya me sar na jhukana
teri thokar me hai jamana
ye bairi duniya wale bade hai dil ke kale
kabhi na gulam bano jhuthe sansar ke
kabhi na gulam bano jhuthe sansar ke
duniya me dilwalo le lo maze pyar ke
din hai bahar ke

Behold, life, a fragile, fleeting bloom,
Youth, a dream in a shadowed room.
When slumber calls, and eyes grow dim,
Lest youth should vanish, unheard of him.
Lest youth should vanish, unheard of him.
Days of spring! Embrace love's sweet art,
Oh, lovers of the world, seize love's heart,
Days of spring!

Laugh, drink deep the joys of time,
The joyful wine, sublime!
In revelry, let your spirits soar,
Oh, hearts alive, and ask for more!
Fulfill desires, though all else depart,
Fulfill desires, though all else depart.
Days of spring! Embrace love's sweet art,
Oh, lovers of the world, seize love's heart,
Days of spring!

Never bow to the world's decree,
For the world lies prostrate at your knee.
These envious ones, with hearts so cold,
Never be slaves to tales often told.
Never be slaves to tales often told.
Oh, lovers of the world, seize love's heart,
Days of spring!
